Showing The Wii Who's The Boss...Or Not

While pregnant, I was repeatedly subjected to the Wii Fit's veiled insults as I continued to gain weight. It would ask me why I thought I was putting on the pounds in spite of it's best efforts to slenderize me, but "Creating A New Life Within Me" was not an option it offered. I had to choose from "Late Night Snacking" or "Portion Size" instead, then read it's lecture on my presumed bad habits before continuing on. Once I had Baby, I was looking forward to shocking the Wii into silence with my amazing weight loss.

I did a Body Test when Baby was one week old. I only lost 4.4 pounds. WHAT?!? Baby weighed more than that! Maybe it was all that pudding I ate in the hospital...

Then, just before the New Year, I weighed myself again. This time? Almost 14 pounds. Yes! But was the Wii impressed? Nope. It merely said that I was progressing at a good pace and then suggested I use the Balance games so I wasn't quite so uncoordinated. I swear, that thing is never happy. Kinda reminds me of a high school math teacher I had...

I haven't used the thing, but my Jazzercise instructor said it gave her crap and that she had worse balance than the guy across the street who doesn't workout hardcore 6 times a week like she does! It sounds like buying an audio version of that little voice inside who always tells us we aren't good enough. I have better things to do...like eat Moosetracks ice cream and gain rediculous amounts of weight!

I am always surprised too, after I have a baby that there isn't this 25 pound loss within minutes after giving birth......slow and steady. Sammy is almost two and while I have lost all my pregnancy(ies) weight, I am still working on my Daniel weight. It is never ending. But just sit and hold your baby....you can worry about that later. :)

I have to admit that I laughed so hard when my hubby got on it & it made his Mii fatter b/c he gained weight.I love doing the yoga, but my center of balance is way off. BUT I have the high score on everything!! That & guitar hero is the only thing I can beat hubby at!!

Okay, we bought a Wii Fit three days ago, and I'm totally writing a blog post about it for this week. So I'll make a mental note: if/when I get pregnant again, either stop doing Wii Fit, or ignore the insults.
